A leading conservative grassroots organization is taking sides in the Republican Senate primary fight in Nebraska, in the battle to try and defeat Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson next year.

CNN has learned that FreedomWorks will endorse state Treasurer Don Stenberg, one of two well established candidates making a bid for the Senate nomination. Stenberg, who launched his campaign in March, is a former Nebraska attorney general and the GOP's 2000 Senate nominee in the state. He is making his fourth run for the Senate.

"You guys slash my tires, stab me in the neck, try to beat me up," the construction company official explained to the union organizer.

Given all that, he asked, why should the company hire such aggressive union militants?

"The positives are that the negatives you are complaining about would go away," the union operative reportedly replied.

According to the Buffalo News, the "negatives" include hot coffee thrown at independent-minded workers, sand dumped into the engines of company vehicles, and the wife of a company representative threatened with sexual assault.

Nugget #1: Political pundit Jon Ralston had a cow yesterday over a blogger’s complaint that Isometimes delete comments posted on my own blog, which I have, in fact, done from time to time…especially posts posted anonymously which put forward false or misleading information or are posted as unpaid advertisements for someone else’s website/blog.

When someone on those rare occasions complains about having their comment deleted (usually unhinged liberals, right “matt”?), they usually scream “CENSORSHIP!” – just as Jon did yesterday. Two points on that.

Article I, Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution says that: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”

As long as the justice system ignores law enforcement's invasive warrantless searches, intimidation, harassment, or threats, citizens are not protected, and no one is safe.

In order for Americans' Fourth Amendment right to be protected and the justice system to be truly fair, law enforcement must cease warrantless searches of citizens' private property.

Earlier this year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Kentucky v. King that law enforcement have the authority to stage a search and seizure of Americans' property without obtaining a warrant from a judge.
